NO. Israel was established by Zionist Jews, specifically Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and his associates. The British helped establish the British Mandate for Palestine, which was designed to create a Jewish National Homeland, but it was only after UNGA Resolution 181 (II) that this transformed officially into the legitimacy for an independent-state declaration. Britain's government officials specifically made it clear that they had no interest in actually resolving the Jewish-Arab issue in Mandatory Palestine.
